UPDATE: Man Sentenced Jail Time for Deadly Drunk Driving Accident

Posted: Updated:

A man will spend a year in jail for the role he played in a deadly accident earlier this year in Montmorency County.

A judge sentenced Zachary Vogt this morning for driving drunk in Albert Township, causing serious injury to Kara Cassisi.

Vogt had already pleaded guilty to the reduced charge.

Cassisi died from the crash that happened April 30th.

Her family asked that money be donated to the Elk Country Animal Shelter in Atlanta, in her honor.

In June, the shelter honored Cassisi's memory with a plaque.
